INSIDE UTOPIA

Radical. Visionary. Poetic. Inside Utopia shows the future of life that architects and designers foresaw.

Spectacular and reflective, unpretentious and effective: John Lautner's breathtaking Elrod House; Lagerfeld's Apartment near Cannes, which seems to be a scenery from a science fiction movie; Palais Bulles in France with its organic and unique architecture. These interiors encourage living and arouse curiosity, while embodying the foundations of minimalism and past visions of the future. Inside Utopia delves into the rhyme and reasons behind previous projects that we are still dealing with.

Architects, owners and artisans such as Gio Ponti and Bruce Goff who work behind the scenes have created amorphous interiors that encourage the mind to wander. In those days they were futuristic, confident, utopian, idealistic - we may not realize it, but they shaped our present conceptions of life and even now inspire us again. Previously, it was difficult to access these preserved interiors, but Inside Utopia reveals what was previously invisible.
